Needham & Company maintains a 'Buy' on Volterra Semiconductor (NASDAQ: VLTR) price target of $33.00.
Analyst, Vernon Essi, Jr., said, "VLTR reported Q1 revenue 4.5% above consensus and EPS that trumped consensus by $0.04. However, the Q2 guide was perfectly in line with consensus and not enough in our view to warrant incremental buyers; we expect this to be a “sell on the news” quarter. Despite all the Romley enthusiasm, Server revenue was surprisingly in line whereas Notebook revenue, which was going through a transition from the Huron to Chief River architectures, performed better than most expected. GM decreased 80 bps Q/Q, due to the lower GM content in Notebook, though the next-gen Chief River solutions will be built on 0.18μ process and should give GM a lift. We left our revenue/EPS estimates unchanged for 2012 at $192M/$1.60 and adjusted 2013 from $211M/$1.85 to $209M/$1.85. We expect the shares to sell off today and we would be buyers on weakness."
